Just remember to take a good spare! I did a trackday last month and squeezed the last few miles out of my tyres before junking them for the 17"s. Got a puncture the nery next day!

£175 is about right for the service. Id get the tyres from mytyres.net - £59.90 delivered, then get em fitted at your local tyre centre.

10 bhp is easy to do yourself, and there are loads of 172s that make 180+ bhp with a few mods. Why worry? Poke in the eye for Peugeot for sure, but the Renault engine was already a lot better than the Pug.. FUD...

If you wants pops & bangs get a Supersprint like dogmaul says. Get earplugs for you and all in your neighbourhood too :D My Magnex was £337 fitted, Demon tweeks. You can get them cheaper but theres nothing like quality fitting.

paddymph can give you some useful tips about this Lee. I seem to remember he said DONT ATTEMPT THIS ALONE!!

Very nice rims - saw them in Demon Tweeks last time I was there.

Depends on who youre with and what you tell them. I told Tesco I had fitted a stainless steel exhaust that made a nice noise - had a laugh on the phone with the guy too - he knew exactly what was going on. No increase in premium, and the mod is now listed on my insurance schedule. BTW, M a g...

Whatever you do, get the springs fitted first, as your car will look daft with bigger wheels on the current springs.

Best of luck - nothing worse than parting with your cash and being unhappy.

You want nice new tyres for winter. By the time the warm weather arrives next year theyll be half-worn - ideal for the track :D

LOL HC - mortgage or trolley jack?? ;)

23k in 19 months :o Mostly around Donington Park & Bedford Autodrome :D

Just bear in mind it might be a year before it gets here - ask anyone whos ordered a RHD Mk2 V6...

I was watching the mechanics at Donington today. They were all using the normal jacking point!

No - your satnav has an external aerial mounted in the base of the radio aerial.

30% I think. And you have to deduct from that the tint the car came with from the factory.

I know nothing about either of these. I need a GPS speed trap detector - if it can detect mobiles too that would be great. While this is being fitted (I wont do it myself) Id like a handsfree kit for my 3510i too. What exactly do I need, and, Is there anywhere in the Midlands thatll...

Done mine, put it in the garage, bet the roads are nice and wet in the morning though :confused:

If its a 172 - non-trivial job!

yup, normal.

My standard jacking points have already been bent by the scissor jack that comes with the car. Tyre centres and garages all use trolley jacks dont they?

I did one of those driving academy courses - they should charge you double after that :D

I thought that yesterday, but looking at it this morning Ill have to do something its :sick:

Now Ive got a nice set of wheels Im going to use the old ones for trackdays etc, so I thought Id buy a trolley jack to make changing them over a bit easier. Can anyone explain (pics would be great) where I should position the jack under the car? Bit worried about bending something :confused:

Dont think its a common fault. If your FM reception is poor Id take it back for the dealer to have a look. (AM is always crap anyway). Maybe somethings come adrift.

Heva a look on <A target=_blank href= "http://www.chris-longhurst.com/carbibles/index.html?menu.html&tyre_bible.htmlthis page to find a calculator thatll tell you how much (little?) your speedo is affected by bigger rims.

LMAO - yeah the radio comes on when you start the engine too ;)

At least you can use it over and over again - better than paying for a new one every service.

Demon Tweeks do em. Youll probably have to phone them though.
